Mansion in the Slums Crowded House
Mansion in the Slums
(N. Finn)
NOTE:
-- The main guitar riff in this song focuses mainly on the top four strings
on your guitar (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th). focus on just playing those strings
most of the way through, and minimize the use of the two highest strings.
INTRO:
Am G D/F#* F
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
[Am]than a [G]mansion in the[F] slums[Am] [G] [D/F#] [F] [Am] [G] [F]
Am G D/F#* F
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
[Am]than a [G]mansion in the[F] slums
the [Am]taste of suc[G]cess only [D/F#]lasts you
half an [F]hour or less[Am]
but it [G]loves you when it [F]comes
and you [F]laugh at yourself
while you're [G]bleeding to death[Am]
I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room
than an isolation tank
I wish I was a million miles away
there is trouble at the bank
you [F]laugh at yourself
as you go [G]deep into debt
[G]laugh at yourself
while he's [G]breathing down your neck[Am]
[Em]who can stop me
with money in my pocket
sometimes I get it free
the best of both [C]worlds
the best of both [Em]worlds[Am] [Bbm] [Bm] [C] [D]
(Instr. break uses chords from the verse)

I'd much rather have a [Am]mansio[G]n ..[D/F#]. in the [F]hills
[Am]than a [G]mansion in the [F]slums
yeah I'd [Am]much rather...
[G]what I mean is, [D/F#]would you mind if [F]I had it all[Am]
I'll [G]take it when it [F]comes
and you [F]laugh at yourself
while you're [G]bleeding to death
and [F]somebody else is always
[G]breathing down your neck
[F]laugh at yourself
while he's [G]hanging over your head
